I'd like to be able to prevent that too. There are times when I've selected a specific pet to keep me company and it then gets replaced. I usually do pet battles with my rogue so I can be stealthed to avoid getting ganked (PvP server), and changing the first pet takes me out of stealth.

On the bright side. though, you don't have to dismiss your companion each time it's auto-summoned since it will stealth with you.

Well, my issue is that it takes me out of stealth when I change the first pet, and also when I fly into a group of mobs and then try to immediately stealth (which I have had zero issues with for years), I stealth and then immediately unstealth to summon the darn pet, and I have to wait out the c/d to restealth.

(I know, I know, rogues shouldn't complain, but I battle on my rogue on purpose, it isn't my main LOL, and it's annoying!)

This is my biggest problem with it too. I (almost) always activate stealth to dismount, which will then be broken by summoning a pet. The only way it seems that I can fix it is to make sure I dismiss the pet every time I switch out my first slot. It really ruins the best thing about pets, which is having a companion with you. It just interferes so much with how I play that I don't ever actually have a pet out.

If they could just have summoning a pet not break stealth, everything would be fine. I know they can do it, because when I first got my Celestial Dragon that's the first thing I noticed, summoning it didn't break stealth. That's the only one I've ever seen that I can summon while stealthed, although I'm not sure if you still can or not.
